A STRANGER’S TOMB.
Whe" Christ was born in Bethlehem
jio shrine was His nor diadatn; •
And when He suffered Calvary's doom
They laid Him in a stranger's tomb.
A stranger’s borrowed tomh.
lit would not try for earthly thrones.
He would not turn to bread the stores,
lit would not leave the cross till dead
He had not where to lay his head
Save in a stranger's tomb.
put now He knows the Father’s smile.
The glory of the “second mile.”
The fellowship of hearts that pray
The high reward of that dread day
That closed in a stranger’s tomb.
Vul M»me would nail His bands to
creeds.
Those hand.- so rich in loving deeds
Would carve Him cold in stone and
glass
And bury Him in rites, alas?
So like h stranger's tomb.
Today within His church He stands
And begs it to unbind His hands.
Led. false to love and faith and truth.
It stifle still His deathless youth.
Itself a Stranger's tomb.

Huey Long Is Impressive
In Senate When He Makes
Oratorical Dehut There
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, March 26.—Huey P.
Long touched off his first bomb In
the United States senate the other
day. : J
Ever since the beginning of the cam
jmign to play him up as a pa jama
clad freak, I have had a suspicion
that an attempt was being made, by
interests I surmised be must have
attacked as governor of Louisiana, to
kill Huey with ridicule. Inasmuch as
potent Interests seldom bother to go
gunning for small game, I Inclined to
'classify him as probably a man of
real ability and independence.
I think his first speech in the sen
ate bore out this theory—both as to
the senator’s quality, and as to the
likehood that there are' influences in
the land which would be happy to
destroy him.
Space Is lacking to repeat here much
of what Senator Long said, and there
is no necssary feor it anyway; the
nub, at least, of his remarks doubt
lessly will have been quoted already.
Nevertheless, he employed one rhetori
cal figure that I would like to recall,
as a representative utterance.
“It is easy enough." quoth the sen
ator, in effect, “to see what is the
matter with this > cquntry.
“The water (meaning the national
wealth, as fast as the workers are
able to produce It) which ought to
be available for all mankind to swtm
In, has been siphoned out, for the
benefit of a very few, until nothing
remains but a puddle so small that
only stagnation can possibly exist in
it."
An orator who can evolve, off hand
as picturesque comparisons as this
naturally docs not need to worry lest
he be ridiculed out of public life.
On the contrary, Senator Long un
questionably has accepted what was
intended to be ridicule as first-class
publicity for himself, and made the
most of it.
His enemies, aiming to injure him
simply have invested him with a per
sonality—an eccentric personality, to
be sure, but all the better for being
so, to an individual like the senator,
who so fully understands how to turn
eccentricity to his own advantage.
This was evident as soon as he
arose to address the senate.

ly empty, filled up immediately. With
in a few minutes the galleries were
crowded. Lawmakers even tore them
selves away from the Lax debate in the
house of representatives and
to tHe other end of the Capitol build
ing to listen to Huey Long. *
Everyone was curious, because of
the advertising he has had.
Os course the attention he was at
tracting imposed upon the new sena
tor the necessity to make exception-.
ally good, or his auditors, disappoint-,
cd might have tended to acquiesce iri;
the valuation which his foes have
tried to place upon him.
However, he did make thoroughly!
good.
Not. indeed, that he pleased all his'
hearers. »
In fact, he gave deep offense to,
several staid, conservative old sena-j
tors by his bruaquences of manner! •
which, they consideredr should have i
been, in a freshman,*far more mod
est and deferential.
But Huey does not strive to please
Modesty Is -anything but conspicuous
in hiii m^ke*up.
He j exuded self-confidence, during
his talk, like a four-term veteran.
For all that, he is not ridiculous;
he is formidable.
It was obvious throughout his entire
address—not a long one—that even
the huffiest of the okl-tlmeni did not
care to enter into any controversy
with him. One or two of them got
up and went out indfgnantty and a
number of them sputtered In the
cloakrooms for an hour afterward, but
there was no attempt to answer the
Creole State solon.
Clearly Senator Long has Ideas and
he expresses them forcefully.
He possesses especially the gift of
effectively de-bunking mere palaver
- an immensely useful gift on Capi
tol Hill.
